10. Check the slide gate metering assemblies to ensure they are not
damaged, and will slide back and forth freely. These are the most
important items on the blender, besides the load cell and weigh hopper
assemblies.
4-5 Electrical Installation
The standard HydReclaim OS/OA blending system is designed to operate on
110/1/50 or 60hz (220/1/50 CE models are also available). The current
requirements vary with the blender’s size and throughput rating. For exact current
requirements, check the blender serial number tag, located on the rear plate of
the mixer section.
If a step down transformer was provided, it should never be used to power
anything other than the blender. Loading equipment, etc. must be powered by
another power source. As well as possibly overloading the transformer, the
additional equipment may induce power line noise that may affect the operation of
the blending system.
The transformer will be mounted and wired by the customer or your installer. If
company or local codes require fusing or disconnects, these items must be
supplied, wired, and mounted by the customer.
Each HydReclaim blending system MUST be connected to a separate
source of power. Do not connect other electrical equipment, especially self-
contained hopper loaders, on the same line as the blending system.
Ensure that the power entrance location on the blender panel remains
unchanged. Make sure that the proper size wire and proper wire routing
techniques are used when installing the supply wiring to the control panel. Care
must be taken to ensure that the supply wiring does not interfere with the low
voltage DC wiring.
